This illustrated handbook explains, in nontechnical terms, the basic concepts and techniques of three-dimensional computer animation. It is intended to be of interest to students of animation, traditional animators who need to update their skills, multimedia artists and designers, producers of animation for advertising and film, and industrial designers, engineers or architects who want to learn how to create simulated movement in space to improve the presentation and sale of their designs.

Principles of Three-Dimensional Computer Animation: Modeling, Rendering, and Animating With 3d Computer Graphics

Business & Money

W.W. Norton & Co., Inc.

The basics of 3D computer animation, updated to reflect the latest advances in animation technology. Retaining the structure and substance of the successful first edition, O'Rourke integrates techniques that have become an accepted part of technology since the book was published. New sections cover advanced modeling, rendering, and animating techniques, including expressions, blended surfaces, environment rendering, animation constraints, volumetric lights, and an expanded description of particle systems. A new chapter on animation production has been added.

Snow Loads: Guide to the Snow Load Provisions of ASCE 7-10 provides detailed authoritative description of the snow load provisions of ASCE/SEI Standard 7-10. With clear, concise language, Snow Loads illustrates the key concepts and guides users in applying the provisions in the design of new and existing structures that are subject to falling or drifting snow. Like its predecessors that accompanied earlier editions of the Standard, this new book includes examples of flat roof loads, sloped roof loads, partial loads, and all types of conventional drift loading. New material includes design examples for leeward drift and sliding loads on adjacent structures and an improved discussion of bays susceptible to ponding loads. The Frequently Asked Questions chapter has been expanded and now covers six additional questions.

Snow Loads provides a detailed, authoritative description of the snow load provisions of Standard ASCE/SEI 7-16. With clear, concise language, Michael O'Rourke explains the theory and research that underpin the provisions and shows how to apply them to the design of new and existing structures that could collect falling or drifting snow. Design examples of flat roof loads, sloped roof loads, partial loads, and all types of conventional drift loading are included.

Rain Loads: Guide to the Rain Load Provision of ASCE 7-16provides the practicing structural engineer with a detailed description of the rain load provisions of Minimum Design Loads and Associated Criteria for Buildings and Other Structures, ASCE 7-16. Authors O'Rourke and Lewis discuss the key parameters that underpin the provisions and illustrate the application of those provisions. Through more than 35 examples, the correct applications of the rain load provisions are illustrated. Some roofs are more susceptible than others to rain load problems. In the six chapters, the authors provide a detailed discussion of the rain load hazard; determination of drainage area; head-flow relationships and the associated types of flow; simplified conservative rain load procedures and limits that yield more accurate load estimates; and ponding loads. When used with the standard, Rain Loadsassists engineers in addressing nonroutine rain loading issues that are not explicitly covered in ASCE 7-16. Rain Loads is an essential supplement to ASCE/SEI Standard 7-16 for all structural engineers, architects, construction professionals, and building officials throughout the United States.
